OK, I have finally started restoring my 72 c10. But, I dont know what route to take. I would like to got he cheapest of course! It now has a 350 / th350 combo. The motor comes from a late 70's Impala. It MIGHT have 150 hp as it sits. So here goes...

1. Keep the 350 in it and install Vortech heads with a better cam. With these heads, I will have to get another intake as well. I will also install a better convert. Something like a 2700 stall or so.

2. Get a donor 5.3 motor and install bigger cam. I will also do the converter as well.

So, which is a better option? Give me your opinions!!!
